’The collaboration with such a well-known and innovative brand is highly valued by Howden Driving Data,’ says managing director

Right Choice Insurance Brokers has appointed Howden Driving Data as the telematics provider for its Autosaint brand, a statement released yesterday (13 December 2023) said.

Founded in 2011, Autosaint helps customers secure cheaper premiums and become safer drivers through behavioural coaching and intervention.

The new partnership will see Right Choice leverage Howden Driving Data’s platform, which uses data science, artificial intelligence (AI) and claims data, to create predictive risk algorithms for Autosaint.

Darren Joseph, managing director at Right Choice, said: “We are delighted at partnering with a global telematics leader and look forward to a close working relationship in the years ahead.”

Jon Law, managing director at Howden Driving Data, added: “The collaboration with such a well-known and innovative brand like Autosaint is highly valued by Howden Driving Data and we look forward to supporting the Autosaint product in the years to come.”

App

Howden Driving Data – part of Howden – is a telematics company that specialises in the use of behavioural and geospatial data to provide firms with loss prevention and loss management solutions.

As part of the deal, Right Choice will use Howden Driving Data’s feedback app, Howden Drive, and self-install on-board diagnostics, which will help customers to gain a better understanding of their driving behaviour.

Launched in the UK insurance market earlier this year (31 May 2023), Howden Drive has been designed to help lower insurance premiums for customers, optimise loss ratios for brokers and insurers and improve road safety.

”Our ability to quickly identify driving behaviours, provide personalised feedback and alert in the event of a crash empowers Right Choice to better understand their customers’ risk profiles and price policies more effectively and promptly assist customers when needed.”

Jodeph added: “The flexibility of Howden’s solution, combined with data-driven customer insights, allows Autosaint to gain a deeper understanding of its customers, price policies more effectively and take necessary actions when required”.
